Capítulo 1359: Chapter 177: Matched Specializations
Woo~ Woo woo!
The Holy Knight of the Red Emperor Army, dressed in black, held a magic artifact and let out a mournful wail.
Instantly, it was as if a wailing sound like ghosts and wolves resounded like a demonic melody, nearly tangible sound waves constantly invading his ears, exploding on Xu Shu’s body surface, disrupting his spirit, and in the surrounding shrinking array, brewing an unimaginable terrifying aura, about to erupt.
Yan Hui, who was close at hand, swung a blade like a full moon, continuously eroding the shield on Xu Shu’s body that shone like gold, suppressing him tightly, with the occasional sword wind slicing at Xu Shu’s head.
The great battle commenced in an instant; in just one encounter, Xu Shu fell into the siege of nine peers!
One of them was even a top expert ranked 250 on the Human List, more than a hundred places higher than him, a position that could be described as overwhelming in both realm and strength!
In the face of danger, Xu Shu naturally made a decisive move and posed his strongest and fastest defensive stance “Jingwei Filling the Sea” to buy time.
Bang bang bang!
Under the protection of Jingwei Filling the Sea, even Yan Hui’s strong attacks could only cut off a few shield-covered strands of hair.
The two seemed evenly matched, at an impasse.
As time ticked by, the shield on Xu Shu’s body was constantly weakened and dissolved, with the “Filling the Sea” state seemingly coming to an end.
“He seems to be weaker, doesn’t seem as formidable as in the ruins?”
During the confrontation, Xu Shu looked at the murderous Yan Hui and then at the surrounding black-clad Holy Knights, a trace of perplexity flashed in his heart.
After all, he was just in the early third stage, with a full two minor stage difference in realm, Jingwei’s defense against such a third-tier peak top expert usually broke within three strikes, and if more formidable could even break the shield in one hit, like Wu Liuzhi.
So, did Yan Hui hold back?
Why?
Or was he injured?
Does he have a weakness?
Where is the weakness?
Xu Shu’s eyes darted around as he activated Spiritual Vision, only to see terrifying curse energy fluctuations emanating from Yan Hui, appearing to have scars on his face, yet in perfect condition with no injuries, unable to fathom the reason at the moment.
However, now was not the time to delve into this matter.
He was quite self-aware; don’t think that once in the ruins he could hold his own against Yan Hui and even kill two Holy Knights and escape, for now was different from those days, his current state was quite dire.
This was mainly reflected in three aspects.
Firstly, he was missing the blessing skills of two healers—in the ruins, he was under Gu Yue Ming’s “Witch’s Spirit Prayer” and Ali’s “Blessing of Life”. These two skills alone could result in over a ten percent fluctuation in strength.
The second point is that now he’s in a safe zone, where the small jade Buddha was almost nurtured enough for combat, but due to the Star Tower’s suppression, she’s now completely ornamental, useless;
The third and most critical point—he didn’t have the mermaid, lacking a big move usable at any time to ambush the enemy “Chasing Sun Golden Spear”!
It could be said, the situation is very dire, this time all negative effects stacked to the max…
In the blink of an eye, with the shield about to explode and the wailing sound growing more piercing around them, seemingly with the array brewing an extraordinarily powerful attack, Xu Shu made a swift decision.
The enemies were numerous and mighty, so he decided to spare them this time and not retaliate.
The thirty-six stratagems suggest fleeing is the best option!
As for this seemingly bizarre sealing array, seemingly another “Apocalypse XX”…
Heh, wings clipped, can’t escape?
Just with this lousy array?
Laughable, it can’t stop me!
Xu Shu faintly smiled inwardly, slightly shifted his steps, shoulders aligned with two-four, feet on six-eight, entered an invisible state like a crab—Yang God·Wearing Nine and Wearing One!
Swoosh!
With one step, he passed effortlessly through the array’s blockade barrier, disappearing in plain sight and reaching the other side of the building wall.
The side where the enemy couldn’t see!
“Goodbye to you, you can play ghost hitting the wall inside the array yourself, haha!”
Xu Shu smiled contentedly, slightly crouched to spring forward for an escape.
However, just as he was about to step away and continue his escape, he suddenly felt a significant lightness on his back. After realizing, he found the wine barrel and blood were still there, but the cat Amber inside was not, his heart sinking instantly.
Damn it!
He miscalculated!
Alice is currently in a dormant period, not in the familiar state of “hiding inside, merging as one” with him.
So, as a standard “living entity with independent life”, she couldn’t be carried out like other items by “Wearing Nine and Wearing One”, but was left behind directly!
“Damn it!”
Xu Shu cursed at his carelessness, such a blunder after using his flash move early, but it was too late for regret.
Now Alice must have fallen into Yan Hui’s hands, surely to be taken as a hostage, waiting for him to return and self-imprison, a reckless return would just fall into their trap.
Yet, abandoning Alice was out of the question.
What now?
Hmm, there’s a way… first charge up the Chasing Sun Golden Spear, then prepare Fu Shi’s spiral piercing, go back and throw these two big moves directly, break that sealing array, and run…
In less than half a second, Xu Shu’s thoughts raced, and he already had a preliminary counter-strategy.
This benefited from the Red Emperor Army’s multiple scheming ambushes, giving him considerable practical experience with these arrays!
